The impression I get is the unions plan was similar to Trumps. The virus would just go away. It didn’t and it’s not going away. As a result both the company and the union are seeing a worse outcome. Let’s hope it does not become terminal. This is starting to remind me of 911. We entered that crises as possibly the best positioned airline yet in the end came closest to not surviving.
